About This Design

Karate 5th Precept - Mentality Over Technique Mug

Karate 5th Precept - Mentality Over Technique Mug

A minimalist sumi-e inspired artwork capturing the essence of Gichin Funakoshi’s 5th Precept of Karate: “Mentality over technique.” The hand-drawn illustration of a kneeling karateka in seiza reflects the quiet strength and discipline that lies at the heart of true martial arts. Above him, the original Japanese Kanji - 技術より心術 - conveys the same teaching in its authentic form, reminding practitioners that mastery begins in the mind before it is expressed through movement. Designed in the calm, balanced style of traditional ink art, this piece embodies focus, humility, and the philosophy that spirit and intention outweigh skill alone.

I loved designing this mug using images stored on Zazzle. Was able to choose the font for the name and uplaod a background for behind the name, and a fabulous image of a black and white horse. It came out beautifully well and I was well pleased.

An attractive good quality item. The recipient is delighted with it, liked the humorous caption and has put it into use straight away. Very clear design and print with good colour quality.
